Yes!

Table screens, or face screens, were typically used to shield a lady’s face from the heat of a fire.

This was not only to preserve the pale complexion, which was fashionable at the time, but also to protect her makeup, which was wax based.

It holds a candle on the other side so you can turn it so the breeze won't blow out the light?
